    The GT 430 is set to launch later this month to replace the ageing GTS 250 in the entry-level arena.
    Seems unlikely: the GTS250 (aka 9800GTX++ ) is a solidly mid-range card that - game and IQ settings dependant - can stay within touching distance of the 5750 (according to the Hexus 5750 review!). If the GT430 is to the GTS450 what the 5670 is to the 5770 (i.e. half the shaders but the same basic back end) then it's going to be replacing the GT240 (and frankly it's going to struggle to outperform the 5670).

    Exactly my thoughts, I think this is to replace the 240 rather than 250.

    96 shaders ought to complete with a 5670 I'd have thought, the 192 in the 450 competes with the 720-800 in the 5750/5770, with roughly 4 times as many, therefore scaling down a 96 shader should compete nicely with a 320-400 shader AMD card depending on the clocks of both.

    You guys are probably right, but we'll see. Different architecture may give it a bigger boost than shader numbers alone would suggest.

    Personally, I just think they need to send the G92b out to pasture. Sure, it was a good part, but NVIDIA has milked it for all its worth. When did it originally launch...2007 as the G92? That's about 4000 GPU-years ago!

    its allready been seen with the GTS450 how scaling downwards is `working` - so as mentioned above we have a good indication of how this will perform , and ofc dont forget the GT420 OEM card , comparable to a 5550

    My main concern is bandwidth. If they do a GT430 GDDR5 then it should give a 5670 a good run for its money (remember the 5670 has the same 128bit DDR5 memory as the 57x0, giving it oodles of bandwidth spare). If they stick to a DDR3 version only, I think it's going to end up bandwidth bottlenecked and it will be nearer the 5570 than 5670...

    Benchmarks of the mobile version.

    Please note that the 5650 it is up against is also a mobile card that is clocked below reference frequencies and is using DDR3 too.
